Leave the cloud.

Charlie aka MoistCritical seems genuine. I guess we will see in the future.

TIL Mr Beast is a billionaire.

This isn’t something that happens when you’re paying for a premium subscription. Sure they could go against terms and conditions but that would mean lawsuits and such.

Software developer here, who works for a tiny company of 2 7 employees and 2 owners.

We use CoPilot in Visual Studio Professional and it’s saved us countless hours due to it learning from your code base. When you make a enterprise software there are a lot of standards and practices that have been honed over time; that means we write the same things over and over and over again, this is a massive time sink and this is where LLMs come in and can do the boring stuff for us so we can actually solve the novel problems that we are paid for. If I write a comment of what I’m about to do it will complete it.

For boiler plate stuff it’s mostly 100% correct, for other things it can be anywhere from 0-100% and even if not complete correct it takes less time to make a slight change than doing it all ourselves.

One of the owners is the smartest person I’ve ever met and also the lead engineer, if he can find it useful then it has its use cases.

We even have a tool based on AI that he built that watches our project. If I create a new model or add a field to a model, it will scaffold a lot of stuff, for instance the Schemas (Mutations and Queries), the Typescript layer that integrates with GraphQL, and basic views. This alone saves us about 45 minutes per model. Sure this could likely be achieved without an LLM, but it’s a useful tool and we have embraced it.

We just hear about high profile ones more than regular ones.

Exactly! It reeks of superiority; I prefer to just live my life and if people are curious about the decisions I make then I’ll try and enlighten people, but if they don’t care still then that’s ok. We can’t force people to be like us and wouldn’t want too either, because I wouldn’t want people to try and force me to go back to Reddit for instance.

Most people don’t care. I’m sick of hearing about Reddit, I left because I do care but I don’t want to keep hearing about my ex, you know!

We are not important, we are the minority that maybe cares about these things and that’s ok, we should live our lives the way we want to and allow others to do the same.

That’s not a good sample though. This place will shill Linux all day long and are biased in that direction.

I am contemplating the same, but the amount of time I’ll have to put into figure out if I can use my 4060TI with it, or what games I’ll be able to play etc and configure it how I want it is not a small amount of time or research.

Do you think AI and / or AGI is a possibly at all given enough time?

Because if the answer is yes, then don’t we need people working on it all the time to keep inching towards that? I’m not saying that the current implementations are anywhere close, but they do have their use cases. I’m a software developer and my boss the lead engineer (the smartest person I’ve ever met) has made some awesome tools tools that save our company of 7 people maybe a 100 hours of work a month.

People used to complain about the LHC and that’s made countless discoveries that help in other fields.

Apple don’t deliver their own parcels, at least in the UK, so that’s all on the courier. I was more referring to buying on contract from carriers anyway as this is also how they’re delivered and it’s the delivery companies that give drivers like 30 seconds per drop because they make more money delivering more parcels so it’s likely cheaper.

I never said they were. I’m saying I’m all for fraud and stealing from stores but not off someone’s porch or house.

I think at lot has to do with the company. Like Amazon don’t care as they make so much it’s just not worth waiting around for PINs or signatures as it’ll cost them more than lost stock. Plus they probably have some insurance.

Which network? That’s madness.

I’m not adverse to stealing, just never off people that worked to earn it.

Enjoy your war against ads then. I’m not against supporting content, I just wanted a better model than invasive ads.

Well the thieves should be stealing from corporations and not peoples houses. That’s something I can get behind.

Not bricking these devices will just mean that more people do it.

In the UK you’re not getting a phone delivered to your house and left without providing a pin to the delivery driver.

I’m all for leaving low value items outside but phones and stuff, come on people.

I’m confused as I’m pro Tony’s but your comment reads like you think I’m against it.

I’m saying it’s better than Cadburys in the UK and the USA.

My price was a little off.

At Sainsbury’s and Tesco right now Cadburys and Tony’s are £2.50 and £3.50 respectively; both weighing 180g.
